I would guess that a few officials would be glad to take fewer games for more money and a "staff" position, but others would say goodbye and go to other conferences.
In CO, we have to belong to an association which assigns all of our games for high school. That said, if for some weird reason I became disgruntled with my current situation, I could drive to the nearby area and work for them.

The idea as jeffpea proposed it wouldn't allow for that, as D1 schools (presumably it would be limited to them) would be forced to use a regional assigner, and officials would be forced to work for the assigner in their area.
